Questions On Job Hunting
Okay so you have already graduated. You have passed your finals, breezed through all your classes and finished your thesis. Now what?
Welcome to the real world.
Now everything becomes even harder. With thousands of students graduating every year, it can be extremely hard to find a good job. It takes a combination of good grades, excellent credentials and job hunting skills to land a job that others will envy!
Below are just some of the frequently asked questions about job hunting. Read on and you might learn a thing or two that can help you get your dream job.
What do I need to prepare?
Although application requirements will vary from one company to another, there are basic things that a job applicant need to have. The first thing is of course the resume, which will basically show your capabilities and your credential.
The resume is one way to put yourself across and promote yourself without having to brag. The resume will include your education, your previous job experience if there is any, your skills and your achievements. Everything can actually be found in the resume.
Is a cover letter really necessary?
The cover letter will basically state the position that you want to apply for in the company. It is also used by personnel managers to gauge your language abilities as well as how well you compose a correspondence.
Do I need a portfolio?
If you are in the creative fields or the fields wherein you have to produce sample works such as in advertising, arts, journalism and other areas, you need to create a portfolio of your most recent works. Even if you have not worked yet, the projects that you have done in your class and in your school organization is already enough.
Do I need to inform the people in reference list?
It is a good idea to inform people that you are going to use them as your reference. This way, they will be able to prepare just in case they are contacted by potential employers.
How do I look for jobs?
Most job postings can be seen in newspapers. Here you will find the job positions available as well as the requirements for the job. Most companies will ask applicants to respond by sending a cover letter as well as their resumes, which will be evaluated. Successful applicants will be contacted for interviews. Some companies also use the World Wide Web to look for applicants. They post job openings on their websites. This is actually one of the ways that companies make sure that their candidates are internet savvy and computer literate.
There are also job search engines that can help those who want to apply for jobs. The process is actually pretty simple. All they have to do is to register and accomplish an already prepared resume sample.
Job positions that fit their qualifications will then be sent to their email addresses. If they wish to apply to a position, all they need to do is to go to the website and accomplish a series of documents.
Another area that job applicants should look into is through one’s network. Ask around for job openings in the companies that they work for. Chances are they will be able to help you get in by putting in a good word for you.

Why are hunting questions all about equipment and not about technique?
I have found in my life that hunting is about the man who hunts, his style and abilities,not about his stuff,.What do you think?
All right, Sarah!
Hey, roadhunt, She’s just a kid. Give ‘r a break…
now that i think about it, your completely right. there’s more to hunting than sitting out in the woods and pointing the gun and pulling the trigger. there’s so much technique involved (i’ve realized how much i lack because of how new i am at deer hunting) but also with any shooting, technique is more important than just pulling the trigger and hoping you’ll get what ya wanted to shoot
Roadhunter- was she the only girl in the county to have done so? probably not. i’ve accomplished a lot. and all but 3 guys on the team didn’t have a problem with that. i bet that girl your talking about didn’t have to overcome sexist guy’s opinions either and by no means am I refering to anyone here- I’m talking about 2 coaches on my team- one said I wouldn’t shoot sh*t and the other didnt count my scores on anything!

been shooting competitive modified trap for 4 years;; best girl shot in the county, 1st girl to shoot all 25 targets and the 1st high school girl to qualify for state comp.
hunting is 90% luck.
and 10% of your equipment and your ability to react to the situation in a successful way.
a custom made rifle with a 3000 dollar swarovski 18 powered scope sighted in to knock a fly off a donkey’s ass at 500 yards ain’t worth a shit if you can’t hit a deer at 50.
however cheap shitty equipment can cost you the kill sometimes, trust me i know.
but the main thing is to be totally prepared for the hunt.
References :
That is a good question…I’ve been hunting (all kinds) for most of my life and kept buying new/better equipment until I realized exactly what you are talking about! I have now sold all but one of my deer rifles and all but one of my shotguns! That’s all I need. It’s not about the equipment!

I’m with you Mountain. I’ve been close enough to elk walking by to slap them–not kidding. I’ve taken deer at 25 feet. I always try to have people invest in accuracy not distance. For me, any shot over 300 yards stretches the term "hunting" into marksmanship instead. Nothing wrong with it, if you know your gun and your abilities. Hunting out west, I know a 400 yard shot on a big mule deer buck or bull elk is sometimes the only one you get all year.
One of the best use of a couple hours is find a copy of "The Perfect Shot" books for African and North American game. It is very helpful for shot placement, more important it tells you when to NOT shoot.My son and I did a short outdoor spot on the local TV station http://video.kxly.com/watch.php?id=13489
I teach my son to respect the animal,weapon and resources because we risk losing so much if we don’t. The "one bad apple" is the worst thing possible for hunters.

The answer is that it’s Yahoo!s fault. Since there is no category specifically for asking questions about firearms, all those questions come to the closest category they can find. Hunting.
I do see technique questions here, they’re just outnumbered 100 to 1 by mall ninjas flaunting their ignorance. Which, if you think about it, really does mirror life.
References :
It’s hard to demonstrate technique over the keyboard, easy to talk about specs.
References :
I think,in part, it’s because technique is something that has to be researched and learned. If someone on here asked me how I hunted deer successfully, I’d never have time to type everything.
References :
Sarah: I hate to burst your bubble, but I shot trap and skeet with girls who busted all 25 on a regular basis (in sanctioned competitions), and that was over 20 years ago.
because its so much easier to run to the store and buy something then to get in the woods and learn something.
a lot of it has to do with people trying to sell you their stuff and saying without it you’ll never have any luck, and then there’s always idiots who buy it…

Because every man has his own way when out in the wild.

I agree with Hawaiian: There is no category for people who are really wanting to talk about firearms. We get questions that have absolutely nothing to do with hunting, like bullet-proof vests and self-defense weapons. It’s hard to find the real hunting questions mixed in with all of that.

I think this is where "sport" enters the picture.

Count yer blessings Mtn. Man. If I have observed anything I have noticed that 10% of the hunters get 90% of the game. I assume that you, like me usually get the deer you are after. How do we do that? I get my 2 deer each year, many hunters get one deer in 5 years. Just what is that difference. I can no more explain my "secrets" than you can explain yours. I can tell you for sure that my 6.5×55 gets deer one shot at a time, and I can give you the "magic" numbers for that. My technique, I shoot straight, and…I’m damned sneaky! J

I agree with you. I’ve been fishing with a cane pole and a coffee can of worms, and caught limit in the time somebody with a 400 dollar rod & reel with a 1200 dollar fish-finder caught 2 fish that were too small to keep.
Ditto hunting. For years I used my somewhat old and occasionally cantankerous 94 Winchester. Although I did splurge for a scope (Christmas present – 120 bucks) this year, (old eyes need more optical help than young eyes) – I took some nice deer with it pretty regularly just shooting open sights.
Compare with some city friends of mine that would come out to the farm to deer hunt, all of them had 2,000 dollar rifles with 800 dollar scopes and never SEE a deer all day because the beer cans and cell phones made too much noise.
Sad, really….

very simple. because Yahoo decided not to have a gun Q/A section. maybe they think the additional board may use more bandwidth than they have for all of Y!ans.
